EPISCOPAL CONVENTION.
They Refused to Adjourn in Order to Hear Ex
Secretary Foster Speak—Greetings
From the Methodists.
Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 5.—When the
house of deputies of the Episcopal con
vention commenced its fourth days’ ses
sion this morning Dr. Morgan Dix, as
chairman, read the appointment of Rev.
Dr. Stone of Chicago, Brewster of I^ong
Island, Lawrence of Massachusetts and
George Fairbanks of Florida, a commit
tee to fill vacancies on the committee on
church unity.
Then Rev. Dr. Glassbrook of New Jer
sey renewed the resolution defeated last
night that the house suspend business for
the day to attend the mass meeting at
the Lyceum theater. For this meeting
Ex-Secretary of State Foster had come
from Washington by invitation, it is un
derstood, of some of the bishops and
the arrangements for the gathering had
been made by a joint local and conven
tion committee. Rev. Dr. Nichols of
Minneapolis said that there had been no
understanding that the house would ad
journ. and when a division had been chal
lenged, so large a majority voted against
adjournment that the yeas were not
counted. Some of the leading delegates
afterwards explained that no slight to
the ex-secretary was intended, hut so
much business was on hand that every
hour was valuable. The committee on
new diocese reported in favor of the divis
ion of the diocese of California, Maryland
and Kentucky and the creation of new
sees, and the report was adopted. This
action now goes to the house of bishops
for its consideration. Dr. Ward of Ken
tucky made a plea for the holding of the
next convention at Louisville, and it was
referred to the appropriate committee.
For an hour there was a brilliant for
ensic display between those members of
the lower house of the convention who
are opposed to the relinquishment of any
prerogatives and the element that holds
that the fathers of the church are en
titled to a little more leeway and lati
tude than was given them a. century ago.
It was the same story of the first clause
of the new constitution, and in which a
large numer of the delegates are fighting
to replace the stipulation In the old con
stitution preventing the bishops from
pigeon-holing legislation coming up fron
below. It was not a threshing over of
the old straw, however, for amendment
was presented until the venerable Judge
Wilder of this state clapped the climax
by submitting a resolution to the follow
ing audacious effect:
“That so long as the house of bishops
shall hold its legislative sessions with
closed doors the house of ishops shall
signify to the house of deputies their ap
probation or disapprobation, the latter
with objections in writing in three, days
after the proposed act shall be reported
to them for concurrence."
This was the pending issue when the
committee rose. The first section in
question has been under debate for one
entire and two portions of days and
seems to be no nearer a final vote than
when it was presented on Wednesday. To
still further complicate matters the
house of bishops has entered upon a re
vision of the new constitution and canons
on its own account. The result wall be
that about the tiipe the revised revision
goes up to the bishops from the deputies
another revised revision will come to the
deputies from the bishops. Just Where
the prospective conditions will land the
two houses neither bishops nor deputies
seem to know.
The one thing- apparent is that neither
house can get through the volume in the
two weeks of life that remains for the
convention, and there seems to be no
other alternative than after the wasting
of much valuable time the postponement
of the issue to the convention of 1898.
This probably will be held in I^ouisville.
Just as soon as the convention had
approved the creation of new dioceses
in California, Maryland and Kentucky
and the magnificent copy of the revised
prayer book approved at the last con
vention had been presented, the delegates
took up the constitutional pamphlet,
which was thoroughly discussed. An
other effort was then made to induce the
convention to adjourn to the Lyceum
and listen to the address of Ex-Secretary
Foster. As the deputies were dispersing
a resoultlon of greeting from the Meth
odist conference now in session and in
dorsing fraternity and good will between
denominations in the interest of Chris
tian unity was read by Dr. Dix.
There was no afternoon session of this
house.
Just received one car fancy
Ben Davis apples and one car
fancy Virginia cabbage.

To the Southland People—Greeting:
With a frelirifr of intense pride CcU. W. F. Cody (Buffalo Bill) and his asso
ciate, Mr. Nate Saulsbury, turn at last to the southland of their own, their na
tive country. When their tour shall have been made they will have completed
the cycle of the United States and Europe with their marvelous exhibition, which
—has been at once the wonder and the admiration of the world.
| And let this solemn assurance be at once made, and made without
’ tiuallticalion—that the exhibition shall be, in every detail, as
enormous in size, as cosmopolitan In character, as comprehen
sive In every detail, in every city and town of the south as it has
• been in I„ondon. Paris, Berlin, Vienna, New York, Boston, Fhila
I delphin and at Chicago in 1S93, where it was made the one great
' representative American exhibition at the World's fair, ns well
as an exhibition of the flower of the armies of England, France,
ttermany, Russian and the United States. And to this Colonel
Cody and Mr. Saulsbury pledge their honor.
Furthermore, this southern tour will terminate at the great
Atlanta exposition; selected by the gentlemen controlling that
vast display of all the treasures of southern soil and southern
blood, as the one vast entertaining and educational exhibit of the
men and by the men who have blazed the way of the western
empire of our common native land; in an actual exhibition by the
* actual men of the rapidly disappearing semi-civilization of the
Y far west. To such intensely interesting features are added the
generous but fierce contention between the representative rough
and trained riders of tho wot Id for supremacy as masters of the
horse. Cowboys from the plains, vaqueros from Mexico, gauchos
from the plains of Brazil and the Argentine Republic, contend
with actual detachments of actual soldiers from the crack cavalry
regiments of the United States. England, France, Germany, and
the wild Cossack cavalry of Russia, riding the horses, wearing Ihe
uniforms and bearing the arms prescribed and provided by their
own respective governments.
NOTE: Tho contract with the management of the Atlanta
exhibition stipulates that the exhibition must be an exact dupli
cate of the one given at the Columbian World's Fair at Chicago.
The exhibition given here will be absolutely the same, man for
man and horse for horse.
And yet this tremendous exhibition is not a show. It must
not be confounded with a circus. It is not a circus. It has noth
ing In common with a circus, excepting the two items of men
and horses. It does not exhibit under a tent, although its audl
> ences are comfortably seited beneath canopies that shield from
sun and rain. The exhlbi'ion Itself is in the open air, with Heav
”w other limitations to the freedom and action of the army of men
and horses, in some parts of the programme numbering actually over 400.
It is a novelty In its every detail. It Is as novel and unique as the circus is
same and tame. See one eireus and you see all, excepting as to inconsequential
details. The circus you have with you always; Buffalo Hill’s "Wild West you will
only have this once. Already Col. Cody has perfected his plans to wind up his
career at the coming World’s Fair in Paris, and he cannot again visit the south.
Without Col. Cody there could be no Buffalo Bill’s Wild West. He and he alone Is
the only man of all this earth who could assemble such an army as the one he will
exhibit here: no other man could gain consent of the monarchs of Europe to
their finest soldiers taking part in a public exhibition. What other man could
bring the soldiers of France and Germany together in friendly contest?
One thing more. Buffalo Bill’s Wild West exhibition will charge the south
ern people not one penny more for admission and for seats than It has charged
anywhere else in this country. Indeed in several cities of the north it charged
more for seats than it will charge in the south on this tour. No other tenting ex
hibition, show or circus is advertised to exhibit here now. nor probably will there
be any. which has not exhibited throughout the north for 25 cents and to quote
verbatim from Its own advertisements in newspapers, and on bills ’ml nro
grammes, "Admission. 25 cens, which Includes a seat to every visitor.” Col. Codv
would scorn such a discrimination against the southern people. His prices are
the same north, east, south and west.
Naturally It requires both time and money to visit a show or exhibition. If
you have both to spare go again to the circus and see the same old thing, as we’l
»s go to see Buffalo Bill’s Wild West, which Is the acknowledged sensational nov
elty to both Europe and America. If you must make a choice between the two
would It not be wise to save your money and invest In a visit to an exhibition
already historic in the amusement and education of the world?
To the southern people again—Greeting!

Mrs. O. B. Heidt, the relic of O. B.
Heidt, deceased, has filed suit against the
Employes Liability Assurance corpora
tion, limited, of London on a policy of In
surance for $10,000, which it is alleged
was held hy O. B. Heidt at the time of his
death. December 2. 1892.
The public Is familiar with the then
current reports concerning the death of
thp deceased. It is said the Insurance
tj.uii-uj ic-uteu pu>u,ent on the po.icy
on me alleged cause ol suicide by tne
noi ter ot me policy. A negro. It Is
eia iited, by t..e name ot H’rea .noBester
says that u. B. heiut, deceased, rnet his
i%aili. by the accidental discharge ot a
l4s ol in the hanus ot Mr. Will butler,
wiU> tvas a clerk in the yards at that lime,
bui who shortly afterwards left Btrming
han for Dallas county, where he died,
it is said the negro explains that as But
ler did not declare the true cause of
Heldt's death he himself was afraid to do
so until he subsequently learned of But
ler's death.
t he text of the complaint recites the
following averments:
“The plaint Iff claims of the defendant
the sum of 510,000, together with interest
thereon, due on policy, whereby the de
fendant, a body corporate, on the 21st day
of October, 1892, insured Oliver B. Heidt
for I he term of twelve months from the
21st day of October, 1892, at noon, against
bodily injuries caused by external, vio
lent and accidental means during the pe
riod covered by the said policy, which
sum the defendant, by said policy, agreed
to pay the plaintiff if such injuries alone
in three calendar months from the date
of sustaining the same be the direct
cause of the death of the said Oliver B.
Heidt.
"And the plaintiff avers that on towit,
the 2d day of December, 1892. the said
Oliver B. Heidt received bodily injuries
and was killed by external, violent and
accidental means and that the said Inju
ries so sustained by the said Oliver B.
Heidt were alone on the same day on
which they were received the direct cause
of his death, of which the defendant has
had notice. And plaintiff says she was
the wife of the said Oliver B. Heidt at the
time he was insured as aforesaid by the
said policy and until his death."
